Technology Blog 5-24




Technology



The school year is winding down, but our technology use in the high school is ramping up.  After two years of using Chromebooks, the school is continuing into next year with gusto!  We’re finding new and exciting ways to streamline the classroom process.

This year, room 126 piloted the Idea Paint program, which gives the students the ability to fully utilize wall space by turning it into one giant whiteboard that they can write on.  The Idea Paint was paired with an interactive projector, which along with specially designed styluses, turns the wall into a smartboard, and engages the students with the material on a more personal, tactile level.

Finally, on Monday 5/23/17, junior Robert Shinder and Spanish teacher Silvana Delbo launched the inaugural broadcast of the Donna Klein Jewish Academy morning announcements, which was filmed in the main building’s digital video studio.  Hosted by anchor Noah Rubin and his fellow 8th graders, sports analyst Levi Stein and meteorologist Dana Levine, the cross-division broadcast was livestreamed to the entire school.  The replay link is available here:  DKJA live announcements
